Pushback with Dr. Jonny

Dr. Jonny explores how pseudoscience is destroying the foundation of our culture. Evolution is presented to our culture as fact, maybe even law. However, the evolutionary worldview doesn't stand up to the scientific requirements for a law, a fact, or even a theory! It is a religion, and it takes way more faith to believe in evolution than in creation! Evolutionary science is really bad scienc...

Historians contend that Custer’s Last Stand happened because General Custer underestimated his enemy, he waited too long to call for help and he was arrogant.  Dr. Jonny hopes history does not repeat itself as he lays out our current battlefield. We are in a culture war with our children as unnecessary casualties. Family is culture’s last stand against an unholy alliance that seeks to sacrifice ou...

If parents are to be intentional and proactive, and family is the backbone of culture, then we need to get our house in order. Fatherlessness is the greatest hinderance to a healthy culture  and the main reason family is being steamrolled. Dr. Jonny lays down the truth of our current family culture, and the sobering statistics about fatherlessness tells the story. However, we live in the time when...

Our children’s pre-frontal cortex, which is the part of the brain that controls planning, attention, judgement and decision making, does not become fully developed until the age of 25. When our children are exposed to inappropriate content in relationships, at home, or on social media, their brains cannot process it, leading to confusion, anxiety, depression, guilt and even suicidal thoughts. Dr....

The “World Happiness Report” was released this week, and the United States ranked at a record low. Predictably, this was the result of a dismally low score among the young people in the U.S. because our culture is in a crisis. Those that have created the crisis try to propose “fixes” for the crisis…only to further propagate the crisis! Dr. Jonny explains that we as parents can help our children na...

In a continued attempt to redefine and dilute family, recent headlines show that even the word mother is under attack. Family is the backbone and platform the Father used to establish and reproduce His culture on the earth. Dr. Jonny continues his crusade to save our children by explaining that any attempt to redefine gender, parenting and family is selfish, an assault on healthy culture and a bre...

Alcohol, drugs and more specifically, Fentanyl usage have risen to epidemic proportions and are literally killing our kids. Dr. Jonny shares his parental, ministerial and medical knowledge to inform parents of this immediate and absolute threat. He shares how the abuse of these drugs are not the disease, but rather they create an altered state that temporarily allows them to escape the real diseas...

With obesity statistics rising at alarming rate, Dr. Jonny continues his series on Killing our Kids by examining childhood obesity. With our children rarely meeting the daily recommended physical activity, the large consumption of junk food and empty calories and kids spending an average of 7 1/2 hours a day using entertainment media, obesity has become a health emergency. While avoiding shame, we...

Studies have proven that cell phone usage by teens is harmful, destructive and increases mental illness, yet 95% of teens have access to smart phones…most unfettered. Dr. Jonny continues his “killing our kids” series by exposing the absolute danger of cell phone usage and call parents to be courageous, powerful and counter-cultural by implementing tight boundaries on usage or hanging it up complet...

What comes out of our mouths matter. Swearing, cursing or vulgarity is common in our culture, but not normal. Dr. Jonny continue his series on saving our children by explaining the importance of language. The way our children speak effects their status, respectability, influence and reveals their heart. The word vulgar means common, but we are raising our children to be uncommon, purposeful and ex...

Dr. Jonny explores further how our culture is killing our kids, by addressing dating. Common culture emphasizes physical attraction and feelings, as well as the social status of being in a relationship. This trite and reckless culture leads to needless heartache, emotional pain, and bitterness. As parents, we can help relieve the cultural pressure by emphasizing maturity, patience, time, and ident...

Our culture has removed all boundaries regarding sexual purity, both inside and outside the church. This compromise has had devastating effects on the physical, emotional and spiritual health of our children. The Father has placed loving but firm boundaries around sexual behavior because He loves us, and He has entrusted us as parents to keep those boundaries.

The New Covenant in the Blood of Jesus, is internal and manifested by an internal sign (circumcision of the heart), based on intimacy, grace and love. Parenting is about protecting hearts and when needed, promoting heart change. Dr. Jonny describes basic boundaries and claims that only when our children’s hearts are in the right place, inside these boundaries set by loving parents, will they be he...

Boundaries are not placed around our children to constrict or control them, but rather to offer them a loving, safe and secure culture for them to operate in complete freedom! Dr. Jonny explains that obeying parents and living within boundaries are critical to the health and survival of our children. Not only that, but boundaries are desperately wanted by our children!

Nobody gets in between a mama bear and her cubs! Becoming a generation of Mama and Papa Bears will have the greatest impact in transforming our culture. Dr. Jonny begins his We are Killing our Kids series by addressing the uniqueness, the potency, the urgency and the purpose of parenting.

Dr. Jonny kicks off season 5 by releasing vision for the new year. There is maybe only one common denominator or one thing Americans value most, that is our children. Most everyone wants their children to thrive and have meaning in their lives. So, it should bring shock and concern to learn that we are, in fact, killing our kids… and Dr. Jonny feels like he can prove it! When a culture loses a gen...

The holiday season is time for celebration and fun!  Family sets the culture and part of family culture is just having fun together and for the Claussens, that means playing games. Play along as Dr. Jonny invites his family to join him for some Christmas and New Years family fun.

Jesus came to declare and re-present the Father to an orphaned world.  He first representation of the Father’s culture was humility. He came lowly, poor, meek and wrapped not in kingly robes, but in swaddling clothes. He taught us that the only effective way to impact the world is to be clothed in humility. Without Him we can do nothing, but when we abide in Him, we can represent Jesus and His man...

The famous Christmas carol O Little Town of Bethlehem is really about the historical collision course between mankind and the Doorway of heaven. Dr. Jonny explains that Jesus not only came as a baby two centuries ago to save us, but to be known by us today. He is what everyone is looking for, He is the answer to every question and He satisfies all the longings of our hearts!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Dr. Jonny gives examples straight out of the headlines that highlight the importance of targeting real change in the culture. We can’t just hope things will be different, we need to be informed, know the data, learn the language and become experts in order to set the culture in the right direct...

Human’s have believed a lie from the Garden of Eden, and have been racing for superiority ever since. The misapplication of this lie has led to travesty, destruction and injustice. The “Human’s Race” today further divides us and further misapplies the lie by trying to handicap the runners. However the problem isn’t the misapplication of the lie; the problem is the lie!

Dr. Jonny announces and celebrates the birth of his new grandson. While staring in the face of a newborn, we are confronted with the difference between expectation and expectancy. Expectations are imposed and encloses us (and God) in a box. Whereas expectancy is an open box and says, “Lord, I don’t know how or what you will do, but I know You will do something, and I know it will be good!”

Dr. Jonny shares a remarkable story from the Minnesota Vikings current season where a newly acquired quarterback was unexpectedly thrown into the game without knowing the playbook or even the names of his teammates! Against all odds, with the words of the head coach in his headset, he was able to navigate the team to victory. The Father doesn’t always give us the full playbook of life, but, if we...

Anxiety is the result of living outside of boundaries, and we have all experienced it. The entry point is our soul (mind, will, emotions and feelings) and the only solution the world has is to try to control our soul. However, as Dr. Jonny explains, true peace can only come from engaging our Spirit and scripture gives us the recipe that changes everything!

In a culture where marriage and family is being redefined and diluted, we need to go back to the beginning and discover what the Father intended.  Dr. Jonny describes the miracle of oneness, inseparability and the uniqueness created in marriage.  Any attempt from culture to maintain independence or to have separate goals, dreams or aspirations defies what Jesus said when he asserted, “so then, the...
